This is clearly an unusual series of events, so it would be very imprudent for anyone to go around speculating about what happened here without there being more evidence available. My hope is that authorities don’t become so focused on just filing charges that they forget to ensure the victim’s loved ones have a full understanding of what happened. That often requires a more thorough investigation, and it would surprise folks how often that required efforts from independent accident reconstructionists.
